We love you Becky!

I've had a lovely week with Becky and her little ones. Most of the time we've just hung out, did alittle sewing, ate yummy food, smiled with Conner......Becky even got it into her head that she wanted to make cookies for some of the people that have been so good to them(I say some because there have been alot!)......crazy girl........its always good to give back , a great lesson for the girls. They made the thank-you notes (SO cute) and the deliveries.
Next Tuesday Becky has a scan to see if the chemo's been doing it's job! Fortunately we have a busy week-end for a distraction! Everyone's coming for Little John's blessing this Sunday. A joyous occasion!
Rachel's busily getting ready to move in a week. She's relocating to Portland! We'll be empty nesters again! We'll sure miss them.
I just finished reading a book called "the pull of the moon" by Elizabeth Berg. Still can't decide if I liked it. Maybe I'm jealous that she had the time and money to take off to find herself at  fifty......or maybe I'm past that adjustment....... it was alright.

    What a full life you have right now, Linda. It's a wonder to me that you have five minutes to sit, let alone to sit and read. Elizabeth Berg isn't a writer that I like a lot, and I'm getting tired of women writing about leaving life and hieing off to find themselves.
    Hugs and prayers to you and your Becky.

    Yes, we do love you Becky. And we're so glad that you are getting to play with Becky so much! (but a little jealous!) The worse part of watching her kids during chemo is thinking how much I wish she were down partying with us! (and I am sure she wishes the same thing. Chemo or Sarah's house...hmmm)

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
